Will the car pass? I know that DOT regs require front side reflectors to be amber.

Anyone have any insight? I'm deciding whether to go JDM clear or not...problem is I already bought the lenses.

Amber light bulbs.

My headlights in my TL-S are blacked out / cleared (since 2004!) and I have never had problems passing safety inspection. There aren't even reflectors in there, the amber reflector is just removed entirely.

My S2K now has clear reflectors in it, and I'm not expecting any problems.

to play it save , just drop in a set of amber bulbs, then switch em off after its done.

I'm not talking about the bulbs. I mean the actual reflector portion of the lens (the part that would glow amber at night if someone hard their headlights on the side of your PARKED S2000).

I have clear and haven't had a problem yet with passing inspection. I think that as long as the bulbs blink/glow amber then its fine.

Unless I'm forgetting something, the DOT only requires that the lights in question *display* amber when activated. Passive amber isn't a requirement.

Thanks, I'm going on that and installing these lenses!

Also, at least in MD, the requirement is "any color between white and amber" if I remember the code correctly.

I know white won't pass in VA...I've been failed for cleared signals with standard white bulbs in them.
